We've got two numbers: 9701 and 726. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 6 in column 1 and get 7.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 2 in column 2 and get 2.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 7 in column 3 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 0 in column 4 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9701 + 726 = 10427.
